In this era of podcasts, which will be on the internet as long as the servers storing them operate...,

...such a tale as this might seem passe...except for the ending!

Appearing in the final issue (#117) of DC's Mystery in Space in 1981, and written by B S Watson, penciled by Don Newton, and inked by Steve Mitchell, the story takes the "last man on Earth" scenario to an unbelievably-narcissistic level!

I mean, he's the last person alive and all he can think of doing is recording and transmitting himself?

As to why it's a "Trump Reading Room" and not "Reading Room", tale?

Because we can see the world ending up like this due to the Cheeto Benito's actions, and one of his followers surviving to become the self-obsessed fool we see here!

About Me

When I'm not out fighting crime, I work in the publishing industry, writing and designing everything from magazines to trading cards to comic books!In addition to my "day job", I'm creating and selling stuff based on classic pop culture images that I would buy if someone else offered it, but nobody else does (When was the last time you saw a Purple Claw or Rocket Kelly shirt?), so I have to do it myself!If you've landed here, you probably have at least one interest in common with me. Cool. Hopefully, you'll have a couple of laughs, learn a bit of trivia, and see something you've never seen before. When you're done, leave a comment, or better yet, tell your friends and then buy a magnet or something. Rocket Kelly's feeling decidedly unloved! ;-)
